The second floor of the auditorium. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If you don't look up, it's hard to see how many people are sitting here.

Among these people, in addition to Yu Weiliang, the dean of the central music department, and Li Honglian, the professor of the piano department, there are also Fang Shimin and Zhu Yikai, the deputy directors of the piano department.

Fang Shimin is a 94-level piano department, and has stayed in the school to teach since graduation, and at the same time served as the director of the piano group of the National Ministry of Culture, Zhu Yikai is a 97-level piano graduate, 00-level musicology department of arts management master's degree, 02 years in the Ukrainian National Conservatory of Music obtained a doctoral performance degree.

Today, these people are sitting here at the invitation of Dean Yu Weiliang to watch Li Zhifan's game.

When he played the first etude, he made several people dumbfounded, especially Fang Shimin, who has stayed in the school to teach for many years, has seen a lot of young pianists of all kinds, and has brought countless students, and there are many who can play the "Hurricane Etude" in its entirety, but there are very few people like Li Zhifan who are so skilled in playing and showing off his skills, and he is the only one in his age.

The few people who are now in their prime are already world-renowned young pianists.

Based on age, it is estimated that only Li Zhifan is under 30.

The second "Spring Sonata", compared with other people's mediocrity, has a little more artistic conception, and adds his own understanding, which makes this piece a little more exciting.

Li Honglian had seen Li Zhifan play the piano in the preliminary competition before, if measured by technology, the playing of these two assessments was actually on the same level, which was also what she could expect, so there was not much increase in surprises, but it was already precious to be able to maintain it, and there was no need to ask too much.

Yu Weiliang, who had already watched Li Zhifan's video, was even more smiling at this time, especially when he saw those foreign judges standing up and applauding, he couldn't help but say proudly: "Everyone, how about it? Now you can consider my proposal, right?"

"I think it's no problem, we should even introduce such talents, if they are preempted by other colleges, it will be the loss of our central sound!"

Zhu Yikai has always advocated looking at the faculty of the piano department rather than age, and Li Zhifan's appearance is right in his mind.

When Zhu Yikai was the assistant to the director of the piano department, he was not yet thirty years old and had just obtained a doctorate.

"I agree!"

Li Honglian said: "When I listened to Li Zhifan's performance in the preliminary competition, I had this idea, with his qualifications, I can come first to be a teaching assistant and slowly become a lecturer!"

The rest of the people also nodded: "I have no opinion, but let's listen to his own repertoire first! ”

Stage.

Li Zhifan sat firmly in front of the piano.

The piece he chose was the famous song "Bell" by Liszt, the king of Hungarian pianos in a different time and space!

This is a piano fantasia written by Liszt based on the theme of the third movement of the Italian violinist and composer Paganini's Violin Concerto in B minor, Echoes of the Bells, which later became the third of the Six Paganini Great Etudes.

Li Zhifan played the first four bars with both hands, and from the fifth measure, the melodious melody began to appear, this part of the processing is very concise, and the real skill is not here.

After a concise prelude, the theme of "Bell" soon appeared in the climax area, and the crisp and pleasant timbre and overtone articulation of the piano treble area formed a short and powerful sound, forming a series of vivid and realistic small bell ringings.

The performance lasted less than a minute, and many players in the audience stood up, they were not spectators, but Li Zhifan played this "Bell", in addition to appreciating it, he wanted to explore his technique and fingering - how did this come about?

The six judges also stood up, and Zimmerman was the first to step forward, stopping behind Li Zhifan, staring at his fingers, his eyes unblinking, but even if he had decades of rich experience, he could only see a rough idea.

A minute and a half into the playing, the other five teachers also came up and stood behind Li Zhifan, which blocked the view of the players in the audience, and the four Yu Weiliang on the second floor also stood up because of the obstruction of their vision.

In the following theme, Li Zhifan continued to use the timbre characteristics of the piano's high register to play bells with different rhythms, and the two themes alternated to form a brilliant and gorgeous passage with high difficulty.

The six teachers were a little dizzy, the wheel fingers on the same note, the long chromatic progression, the trills with the melodic part of the one-handed voice, the continuous octave progression, and the large octave jump of the left hand over a long distance...... So many playing techniques that even they didn't dare to think of were actually used by a young man?

It's not incredible, it's shocking!

They have been in the piano performance world for decades, they have never seen such a difficult performance, and they have never heard such a terrifying piano music, the beginning is like a spring tinkling, there is a crisp bell effect, and then it actually contains the theme characteristics of dance music, what is the name of this song? Who wrote it?

Whether it is the creator of the music or the Li Zhifan who performs, they all want to surrender and worship.

It's just that they don't know that "Bell" is just one of Liszt's etudes, and this virtuosity madman has already composed "Twelve Supertechnical Etudes" before composing "Bell", and later composed a large number of "Fantasias" and "Symphonies", all of which are the top works of the Virtuoso School.

The basic structure of the whole piece is a three-part form, which is repeated due to the repeated changes of each paragraph, and has the characteristics of a variation and rondo.

Coincidentally, there is also a violin concerto in this world, the full name is "Concerto of the Bells", but it is completely different from the "Violin Concerto in B minor" in a different time and space, and naturally it cannot be played with "Bell", but Li Zhifan intends to use this as an excuse, once he asks about the motivation for creation, he said that he was inspired by this concerto, so he created such an etude with the theme of "Bell".

What? You say Li Zhifan is shameless?

Oh, yes!

Anyway, there are still a lot of "100 Piano Songs" that can be proved by it, so let the people of this world ...... for him No, applaud Liszt, Beethoven, Mozart and other great masters!

Li Zhifan: I don't produce piano music, I'm just a porter of piano music in different time and space!
